I have so many mee's... lol....
I have the happy and content me...
I have the ,"I'm symptom free" me...
but they are not real.

I am what I am.....
I have the real me....
but I put him away and he doesn't come out around other people...
so I am fake I guess...
not on these boards though....
this is the real me...

how many others have versions of themselves that are not real.
sucks to know that I am mostly fake everyday

I feel ya my brother. I'm fake most the time as well, it's how we survive nothing to be ashamed of.

There is a me for every person and every occasion--and a real me for my husband. Thank heavens for that one person with whom I can just be ME!!!

Dan, did you see all my wanna-be happy-me new years pics on fb? LOL... i did feel happy at the time, but truly i'm more serious than that, pensive, sensitive, emotional, troubled. that other girl, that's just who i want to be, people sure seem to like her a lot and invite her places.

Before I really acccepted and was 'comfortable' with my bipolar dx, I had many mee's and wore many masks, which led to many 'unravelling' episodes... Now, like Anika, I only have, am 1 authentic me, much less work I tell you

This thread reminds me of one of my favorite poems by one of my favorite authors...

"Underface"

Underneath my outside face
There's a face that none can see.
A little less smiley,
A little less sure,
But a whole lot more like me.

-Shel Silverstein

Often don't know who I am. Often just existing. No one really knows the real me. I am lost. I am no one. I am the bipolar me.
